System: Ubuntu Gutsy up2date.
PATH: /home/isaquealves/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
AMSN Version: 0.97-final with tcl/tk8.5

other available info:
I've made some tricks trying to fix this error:
* created sym links to wish8.5 and tclsh8.5, substituting links to /etc/alternatives/tclsh and wish.
* tried to use the autopackage version.

None of these works fine.

Thank you for your bug report. Closing the Hardy bug task, seems to be a problem that occurs only with the backport.

bug 195785 explains why this fails. Do you have tcllib installed ? If yes, could you please try to remove it and see if this fixes the crash on launch ?
